title: Granular cell tumor of the breast.
abstract: Granular cell tumors are rare tumors occasionally located in the breast. They are generally benign, but can mimic breast carcinoma thus complicating diagnosis and treatment. The etiology of these tumors remains obscure, but may be neurogenic in origin. We report a case of granular cell tumor of the breast and present a review of the topic.
